This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

Poor-Mouth was the band for guitarist and singer Jack-E McAuley (Jackie McAuley, a former member of Them). He assembled a backing band for concerts, Poor-Mouth, without an stable lineup, but always comprising superb musicians, such as John Gustafson (bass), Rod Demick (bass), Don Airey (keyboards), Chris Parren (keyboards), Nick Payn (sax, flute), Clive Bunker (drums), Howard Tibble (drums).

The band released two albums, but I don't have them, so I don't know if Chris Parren appears there. Help, please!

Surprise arrived when it was announced that Jim Rodford passed away on January 20th, 2018, due to a fall. He was 76. What a great loss to rock music.
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp26 BANDS (WITH 39 SELECTED RECORDINGS):

Comments: Great double live album, some CD release missed some track. I've bought the new reissue as 2CD, being the 2nd CD an enhanced CD showing live video footage for the computer. The album also features Nick Newell as additional keyboardist, so I guess he also toured with the band in that tour.

Comments: The album was recorded between October 1982 to March 1983, except one song that was recorded in May and June 1981. The album included two additional tracks in the cassette version (´Noise´ and ´Long distance´). The CD reissue on Konk label includes 4 bonus tracks (2 of them being those mentioned songs).

Comments: Recorded in different periods: 3 tracks in June-July 1983 with Mick Avory on drums; fired sometime later and replaced by Bob Henrit who plays in the rest of the tracks, recorded in June, August and September 1984. CD remastered reissue on Konk label contains 2 bonus tracks.

Comments: This is a compilation originally released as a 2LP with 18 tracks. The CD reissue is missing 3 tracks, in order to fit into 1CD. It contains previously released material, but of important note is that there is a song only released as a single, ´Father Christmas´, and a rare track, ´Long distance´. As the period covered spawns through different Kinks lineups, I must say that other musicians appearing includes Ron Lawrence (bass), Alan Holmes (sax), John Beecham (trombone), Nick Newell (keyboards, sax), Nick Trevisik (drums), Clem Cattini (drums), plus future members Jim Rodford (bass), Ian Gibbons (keyboards), Bob Henrit (drums).

Comments: Return to Waterloo was a movie directed, produced and written by Ray Davies. The best thing is that it contains tracks by The Kinks, never available on record. In March 1999, it was reissued on DVD together with a video compilation by The Kinks, Come dancing with The Kinks. The album was credited to Ray Davies, but it's mostly a Kinks album (except that Dave Davies is not featured). It features both Bob Henrit and Mick Avory.
